My 2 year old Catahoula weighs 75 lbs and eats Purina Beniful Originals. I feed him 2 cups of food at 6pm everyday. Is this ok? Should I he feeding him more or less at a time? Should I feed him more times a day?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Based on his weight, he should be eating in between 1,300 - 1,500 calories per day. The caloric content of each diet is different and even different in each of the different varieties of that diet you feed him. You can always look at the caloric content of the one you are specifically feeding him to make sure you are feeding the right amount. That information can be found in the bag or online. I prefer to split the total amount of food into 2 feedings per day. Good luck!
